On February 7, an event was held on the occasion of the 94^th anniversary of the autonomous republic with the participation of the students of the secondary schools No. 4, 11, 15, 16 and the secondary school named after Heydar Aliyev. 

The head of the library Kamaladdin Akhundov opened the event and mentioned that Nakhchivan's autonomy emerged as a result of socio-political events in the territory in the 20s of the XX century.  Giving the status of autonomy to the ancient land came from the necessary historical, political and geographical factors. Nakhchivan's autonomy has created a legal and political basis for its survival and development in Azerbaijan. As a result of the stubborn struggle of the people and intellectuals of Nakhchivan, Moscow and Kars treaties were signed in 1921 determining the status of an autonomous republic of Nakhchivan within our republic. International Moscow and Kars treaties are crucial in securing the inviolability of Nakhchivan's territory. On the basis of these documents, together with the establishment of  Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic on February 9, 1924, security and further development of the ancient land were ensured.

The history teacher of the secondary school No.15 Hamida Babayeva stated that at the beginning of the XX century, the Araz-Turk Republic, which had more than 1 million inhabitants, was established. This republic played an important role in defending the ancient land and protecting its territory. In this sense, gaining autonomy in Nakhchivan also contributed to the continuation of the traditions of statehood. Nakhchivan people who preserved in those statehood traditions, made great efforts to establish Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic under the influence of internal and external factors that took place in 1918-1924. The population struggled for military and political-diplomatic spheres to keep the ancient land within Azerbaijan.

Aynur Mustafayeva, the history teacher at the secondary school No.16 in Nakhchivan made a speech and mentioned that the national leader Heydar Aliyev carried out important measures in the direction of inviolability of the ancient land when he worked as the Chairman of the Supreme Majlis of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.  It was emphasized that the historical decisions adopted in those years in Nakhchivan played an important role in the formation of the Azerbaijani statehood, its progress, identifying national economic strategies, establishing diplomatic relations.

During the years of independence, special attention is given to the economic revival, improvement of the socio-economic situation of the population, new jobs have been created. Large-scale building, renovation and reconstruction work has began, a new stage of care has began for history, culture, education and science, attention has been increased to the development of industry and agriculture, the gross domestic product is being increased year after year. As a result, Nakhchivan is a prosperous land now.

At the end of the event the exhibition “Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic-94” was viewed.
